Description
The Organic Chair designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen is an extremely comfortable small reading chair, made in 1940 as a contribution to the New York MoMA's "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition.
The Organic Chair was way ahead of its time, but owing to the lack of manufacturing techniques, never went into series production. It wasn't until after 1950 that it became possible to manufacture larger quantities of organically shaped seat shells and market them. The first were chairs such as Eames' famous Plastic Armchair or Saarinen's Tulip Chair.
Manufactured by Vitra the Organic Chair come in a range of Tonus, Cosy, Credo and Hopsak fabrics with black beech or natural oak legs legs. For more information on Vitra fabrics see the Vitra Fabrics Page
